Roaming the Big Land is a celebration of Canada from coast to coast to coast. In this entertaining and thoughtful collection of stories inspired by journeys to every province and territory, the author wrestles with the enduring issue of Canada's national identity, and in the process captures in a personal way the extraordinarily diverse and beguiling character of the country. These are touching, amusing and insightful tales that evoke Canada's past and present cultures as well as its promising yet uncertain future. For added enjoyment, each chapter concludes with an original Canadian recipe.
